Where to start.

Browsing the forum last night, pop up apears *new updates* for windows (vista32)

I click update > Prompted to restart > restarted.

Boot goes fine ? get that vista globe just before the desktop would apear

Screen goes black > then monitor switched off
***********************************************************

Safe mode I get a screen and get access this forum.
I have tried system restore to remove the latest update > didn't work
Checked the device manager > no conflicts > no missing drivers
*********************************************************
What I think it might be > well I downloaded and installed those leaked patches that were floating about.

When I try and access windows update the computer brings up the im thinking cursor then does nothing > should I try a restore further back > maybe uninstall the graphic drivers? > Anything else I could try?

SPEC

Its a hell.
GFX is a 8600
AMD

I think thats all you need to know as it is a HELL after all.

can someone please help?
 
Try uninstalling those leaked patches. I downloaded those, and then saw that the related thread with the links had been deleted (or at least I couldn't find it). There (perhaps in your case) must have been a good reason.
 
UPDATE

OK.

Booted into safe mode.

Uninstalled the driver for the graphics card. Restarted and hey presto my screen works again.

Went to the nivdia website - got the latest drivers (beta), installed them and restarted - screen dead again.

Im now in safe mode, im going to try installing the official drivers and see if they fair any better.

Will try uninstalling the patches if this doesnt work.
